Regardless, the fact remains that Diablo II: Resurrected is still a whole lot of fun. On top of that, there are performance issues on Switch and general multiplayer concerns to also consider before one should commit to vanquishing the demons of hell once more. Simply put, Diablo II: Resurrected is still very much a 20-year old game in a genre that has seen massive iterations in the years since the game’s original debut.

While I’ve had an absolute blast diving back into Sanctuary (130 hours and counting), this type of game – despite the lovely, fresh coat of paint and touch of quality-of-life features – requires a very specific type of person to fully appreciate it.

Fast forward 20 years and the long-awaited remaster, Diablo II: Resurrected, was naturally one of my most anticipated releases of 2021. And like any innocent kid would, I spent my time making an effort in school, hanging out with friends, and spending the rest of my free time slaying as many demons as possible in Sanctuary, the world of Diablo II.

In the early 2000s, I was just a kid in high school.
